Dardanelle Resort

"The resurrection of a historic Highway 108 resort all but devoured by the 2018 Donnell Fire is nearly through its initial stages and readying for a soft opening. Dardanelle Resort co-owner Jim Lewis tells Clarke Broadcasting limited RV camping will open this weekend and that staff and volunteers are “working their butts off,” to get more facilities online by mid-June. “Repairs are still underway on the [RV area] infrastructure but by next week, we anticipate electricity will be in for full-service RV accommodations along with tent camping,” he says happily. Literally, like a phoenix emerging from the ashes, the now rejuvenating resort was nearly devoured by last summer’s disastrous Donnell Fire, which destroyed 54 structures, 81 outbuildings and scorched nearly 57 square miles. The property had just a few months earlier changed hands and the new owners were excited to be stewarding old traditions while instilling their own flavor." https://www.mymotherlode.com/news/local/670432/reopening-historic-dardanelle-resort-prepares-to-rise-like-a-phoenix.html
